Asus promised an offi­cial launch of its Eee Pad Trans­former Prime on Novem­ber 9th, and not a moment too late, the com­pa­ny is ready to give up the remain­ing details on its forth­com­ing tablet. How­ev­er, those hop­ing that "launch" meant the world's first quad-core Tegra 3 tablet would start hit­ting stores today should be pre­pared to be dis­ap­point­ed — the $499 tablet (with 32GB of stor­age) and its $149 key­board dock won't be arriv­ing until early Decem­ber. (The 64GB ver­sion will ring up at $599.) That said, after you read on below about all the improve­ments, you'll like­ly think it's worth the wait.
